    Im looking at a 302 that was fuel injected but if I get it I will make run on a carb. Is this hard to do, I know it will require an intake and carb anything else to make it work? I have an electronic fuel pump on my car now, and a HEI dist.
    thanks

    If it's a roller motor you'll need the flywheel or flex plate and harmonic balancer that goes with it.

    It's no problem to convert it to carb. You need any help swapping the engine or converting it to carb, I'm only 15 minutes or so down the road from you.
